Fast Access Controller – a plug-and-play IP solution for fast embedded Flash Programming and Memory Testing
Key Features
- Enables fast in-system FLASH programming over a serial connection as fast as stand-alone FLASH programming
- The FAC is easily embedded into a design to enable and simplify in-system FLASH programming to accommodate firmware changes during any stage of a products life cycle.
- Reduces the cost of FLASH programming throughout a product’s entire lifecycle:
- The FAC is significantly more cost-effective when compared to methods that use other types of external equipment to program FLASH devices.
- FAC has very limited impact on the design flow and does not necessitate a capital expenditure for dedicated or inline FLASH programming equipment.
- Fast in-system programming: In-system FLASH programming using the FAC can be done in the same amount of time it takes to program a device out of system using expensive capital equipment.
- FAC is scalable and reusable methodology: FAC is a proven plug-and-play IP solution that can be used on multiple projects (processor, SoC, ASIC or FPGA)
